The wait is over. Buell’s new Hammerhead 1190 bursts onto the scene with a vengeance, boasting an impressive array of features that will leave enthusiasts salivating.
This beast of a bike has been carefully crafted by the team at Buell, drawing on their vast experience and heritage in motorcycle design and engineering. The result is a stunning creation that exudes passion, pride, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
At its heart lies an updated Rotax Helicon motor, a 72 V-twin powerhouse delivering a whopping 185 horsepower and 102 ft-lbs of torque – figures that firmly place the Hammerhead in the realm of superbikes. This potent engine is married to a lightweight chassis, tipping the scales at a mere 416 pounds (190 kg), ensuring blistering acceleration and handling.
But it’s not just about raw power; Buell has also retained some of the innovative features that made their bikes so beloved by enthusiasts. The Hammerhead boasts a front brake disc mounted on the wheel’s perimeter, fuel-in-frame setup, and oil storage within the swingarm – all clever touches that add to its sporty character.
With fully adjustable Showa USD Big Piston Forks up front and a direct-mounted single Showa shock rear, this bike is tailor-made for track days and twisty roads. And when it comes to stopping power, Buell’s 386mm perimeter brake disc and eight-piston caliper setup will leave you breathless.
The Buell Hammerhead 1190 (2022) is a game-changer, and we can’t wait to get our hands on one – the ultimate American superbike has finally arrived.
